generosity is The Way

i cannot overstate how much a generous spirit contributes to luck. look at the luckiest people around you, the ones you envy, the ones who seem to have destiny falling habitually into their laps. what are they doing that singles them out? it isn't dumb luck if it happens repeatedly. if they're anything like the fortunate people I know, they're prepared, they're always working at their craft, they're alert, they involve their friends in their work, and they tend to make others feel lucky to be around them.

- Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit


cliff notes:

1. be generous: in spirit, above all.

2. be prepared: hone your craft

3. celebrate: dance in the joy with gratefulness
